1. I still turn away from you at night whenever
you appear, and if not for fear of your people, I would not turn away.

2. And I stay up, watching for an apparition of you to come by,
Alas, longing dictates no rest for the eyes.

3. I shun you out of fear of provoking separation -
some harm is lighter than other harm.

4. So O ruler of days, if you intend to reconcile,
hasten, before our time runs out and do not delay.
